To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Universal principles of law and authority come from an absolute deity who created and maintains a moral universe with values and a strict notion of virtue capable of making better men. While omni- potent and omniscient, God is as well a benevolent and per- sonal deity that watches constantly over and interposes in human affairs, and he rewards and punishes according to what is deserved. By convention and intention, romance is a form which depicts life and its moral drama within a regular, unifo...rm, and harmonious frame analogous to a theo- dic concept of order, and, more relevtJit to our purposes, to the Christian view of a Providential order as it had evolved in England in the eighteenth century. " As indicated in the first section of this chapter, 180 the conventional romance plot is characterized by episodic and erratic wanderings, full of accidental meetings and seemingly improbable chains of circumstances. The story proceeds through often strange and startling circumstances with fortunate mishaps and amazingly lucky encounters appearing in nearly every episode.
